It is annoying when I have full of ideas in my brain and when I pull down the dock to make some more room, the disk spins for 10-20 seconds.... I noticed that too. This is of course attributable to paging and not Display Postscript. This doesn't always happen, of course. Fortunately, it's not something you need to do all of the time. But if it was, it would be swapped in so it would be instaneous the next time, assuming that it didn't get paged out again. -Mike
